TIMED GEM MATCH THREE PUZZLE

The board gives players a quick puzzle: find a pair of gems to swap, make a line, and look for the next cascade. The 90-second clock keeps each attempt focused, while combo scoring rewards matches that set off more movement.

Bright pop feedback makes a successful chain easy to read at a glance. A founder adapting this pattern could change the theme, board size, or round goal while preserving the satisfying decision of choosing which move to make next.

WHAT THIS EXAMPLE SHOWS

The board gives players a quick puzzle: find a pair of gems to swap, make a line, and look for the next cascade. Use the sample to name the audience, the main action, and the smallest useful first version. Cleo HQ then helps turn your own brief into a product plan and a working build.

QUESTIONS FOUNDERS ASK

How does a match create a bigger score?

Players swap neighbouring gems to create a match. When those pieces clear, new gems fall into place and may make another match. The cascades and combo score reward moves that set up more than one clear, so a board can feel strategic without requiring a long tutorial.

Why does the game use a 90-second timer?

A short clock gives each round a clear ending and makes the score easy to compare between attempts. Players can experiment with a move, then decide whether a faster strategy works better. You could replace the timer with a move limit or a target score if your audience prefers a slower puzzle.

Can the gem puzzle use a different theme?

Yes. The matching rule does not depend on gems, so a founder could use fruit, symbols, plants, or objects from a particular story. Keep the pieces distinct enough to recognise quickly, and make the clearing animation show why a move worked. Those visual choices matter most when someone is playing on a small screen.
